Leo Buscaglia
March 31, 1924 – June 12, 1998
Leo Buscaglia, affectionately known as "Dr. Love," was a professor of special education whose writings profoundly explored the landscape of love and the reticences people often hold regarding it. As a prolific author of inspirational bestsellers, he passionately advocated for open discussion and expression of affection. His work often stemmed from a place of genuine outrage at the scarcity of literature on the subject, famously proclaiming his intention to copyright love itself. Through his engaging prose, Buscaglia encouraged readers to embrace vulnerability and deepen their understanding of human connection.
